Mzwandile Masina re-elected for ANC chairperson in Ekurhuleni

Mzwandile Masina was provisionally re-elected as regional leader at the ANC conference in Ekurhuleni, Gauteng.

Masina beat his rival and former regional treasurer, Doctor Xhakaza. The results remain preliminary until 19 quarantined votes are counted.

However, once the disputes surrounding the 19 quarantined votes are resolved this could change the result.

National executive committee member Mduduzi Manana said the quarantine votes would also affect those elected in the deputy chair and deputy secretary positions. He said an Ekurhuleni regional general council would have to be convened to discuss policy as delegates.

“We have elected the top five officials and there was an objection from plenary about five branches which amount to 19 delegates that were supposed to participate and were excluded. We decided as the steering committee we will quarantine the votes, they will be kept in a separate envelope pending a verification process which will be conducted by the national organisers,” he said.

Jongizizwe Dlabathi was elected as the deputy chair, Thembinkosi Nciza as the secretary and Moipone Mhlongo the deputy secretary. The treasurer position went to Sello Skhokho.
